Artist’s statement: I remember writing the same sentence
hundreds of times over and over on paper. Ironically, I don’t remember what the
sentence said. It was probably three lines long, about something I did or said
that I shouldn’t have said or done. I was implanted on a park bench, facing
away from where the others dug holes to China and chased one another up the
slide. Luckily, by now I had learned how to escape into my own space. I
daydreamed about playing games and my stuffed animal penguins that waited for
me at home. I became an artist early, creating spaces that served as
distractions. My installation is an ode to this temporary refuge. My paintings
and sculptures exemplify the struggle of reentering the “real world.”

Wofford Theatre's 2020 Pulp Theatre production, “Seminar,” runs from January 23-25, at 8 p.m. in the Sallenger Sisters Black Box Theatre. Written by Pulitzer Prize nominee Theresa Rebeck, “Seminar” will be co-directed by Wofford juniors Kelly Kennedy and Savannah Talledo. Set in modern-day New York City, this Broadway comedy centers on four aspiring novelists and their professor, an internationally acclaimed writer whose methods are far from orthodox.
